We consider the existence of singular limit solutions for a nonlinear elliptic system of Liouville type with Dirichlet boundary conditions. We use the nonlinear domain decomposition method.
Abtract: In this paper, we study a system of thermoelasticity with a degenerated second order operator in the Heat equation. We analyze the evolution of the energy density of a family of solutions. We consider two cases: when the set of points where the ellipticity of the Heat operator fails is included in a hypersurface and when it is an open set. In the first case and under special assumptions, we prove that the evolution of the energy density is the one of a damped wave equation: propagation along the rays of geometric optic and damping according to a microlocal process. In the second case, we show that the energy density propagates along rays which are distortions of the rays of geometric optic.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
